Infinity used to be the place where mathematics ran out of road, a hazy horizon rather than a mapped landscape. Now a pair of new, exotic infinities is forcing researchers to redraw that map and ...

For centuries, the concept of infinity has captivated mathematicians and philosophers alike, stretching far beyond the simple idea of endless counting. Recent groundbreaking discoveries, however, have ...

Infinity contains everything, including multiple kinds of infinities. Mathematicians have long known that there are many kinds of infinities (technically, there are an infinity of them).

When mathematician Georg Cantor first glimpsed the true nature of infinity, it changed mathematics forever. He demonstrated that infinity isn’t just endless; it exists in different sizes, each opening ...

Could it be that the number zero is another infinity? Does a perfect vacuum exist? Does absolute zero temperature really exist? It seems to me that both the physical and the mathematical worlds are ...

Infinity contains everything, including multiple kinds of infinities. Mathematicians have long known that there are many kinds of infinities (technically, there are an infinity of them).

Your article on infinity deals with very large and very abstruse concepts of it. But what about smaller, everyday infinities? The number pi is something we use often enough, but it can only be ...
